    Name this Prusik (from Hennessy tarp "doohickey")

    So Tom calls them "doohickeys" but they're tarp attachment prusiks. I noticed it's basically 2 turns worth of prusik knot but then the working ends are wrapped around the middle. This doesn't seem like it adds anything meaningful to the knot -- does it just help keep the loop/hardware from slipping through and getting lost?

    I've searched hf.net as well as the web and can't find this Prusik derivation.

    Thanks!
